Overview
Chevrolet Onix oil filter ensures optimal oil flow and filtration to protect engine components.
For this reason, Chevrolet specifies this filter to maintain engine performance and durability.
The filter regulates oil flow while trapping contaminants generated during engine operation.
As a result, internal engine components receive cleaner and more consistent lubrication.
Vehicle Compatibility and Applications
This oil filter fits Chevrolet Onix models produced from approximately 2012 onward.
These vehicles commonly use petrol engines.
The most common application is the 1.0L and 1.4L petrol engine variants.
In addition, the lubrication system shares architecture with other Chevrolet and GM small car platforms.
Material and Structural Design
The filter housing uses corrosion-resistant steel material.
Therefore, the exterior maintains strength under oil pressure and temperature fluctuations.
A precision-threaded metal base ensures secure installation.
At the same time, the sealing surface supports stable contact with the engine block.
This structure ensures consistent fitment during repeated service intervals.
Filtration Stability and Engine Protection
Stable oil circulation is essential for engine longevity.
For this reason, the filter supports consistent oil pressure during cold starts and high-load operation.
As a result, wear on bearings and timing components remains controlled.
Moreover, reliable filtration helps protect the oil paths in turbocharged engine variants.
This balance supports predictable engine performance under city and highway driving.
OE Reference Integration
Chevrolet assigns OE number 96374093 to this oil filter.
This OE reference corresponds to original Chevrolet specifications for small petrol engines.
It is used across various Chevrolet petrol engine applications, including the Onix.
However, engine-specific verification remains recommended before installation.
Maintenance and Replacement Guidance
Engine oil quality degrades over time and mileage.
Therefore, technicians replace the oil filter during every scheduled oil change.
Chevrolet service schedules commonly recommend replacement every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers.
As a result, regular replacement supports long-term engine reliability.
Service intervals should always follow official Chevrolet maintenance documentation.
Installation and Fitment Notes
This oil filter installs directly onto factory mounting threads.
Moreover, original sealing surfaces remain unchanged during installation.
No modification to surrounding components is required.
Consequently, installation remains straightforward for professional technicians.
